[herriotto]

another example is addr:street=Av. Bolivar, referring to 'Avenida Bolivar' identified in the AtlasCheck here -

Are abbreviations considered/under discussion for this check?

Hi @herriotto.
The check does not currently consider abbreviations at all, and as far as I'm aware this is the first discussion of it.
The point of the check is to make sure that the address and surrounding name tags match, which includes identifying typos and such. So I would think that it is legitimate to flag addresses and street names that are not abbreviated in the same manor.

Actually, I take back my statement about this being the first discussion about abbreviations in AddressStreetNameCheck. I forgot about the discussion here: #409
There it has been discussed adding a standardization library to help deal with abbreviations. However, in that case it was for creating suggested fixes.
